Surviving the storm

[vtf]

We had a collapsing thunderstorm roll over early Saturday morning about 2am, it sent winds 80 mph through our neighborhood. When it was light out, this is what we saw. I saw at least 12 full size and mature trees down.

Wow, I hope everyone is ok! Be VERY careful about downed power lines and things. Please.

The storm had produced a tornado earlier in it's life but when it got to us the storm was dissipating leaving us with the micro bursts. I live in a valley and normally the winds are calm even when storming but this time I thought all hell broke loose so I knew it had to be really bad at the top of the ridge.
